Zestful Eats

I have always associated Delifrance with breads, sandwiches and their oh so sedap garlic baguettes which taste fantastic when you re-toast them in an oven. Best garlic bread ever.

Ah but recently (well perhaps not so recently) I just found out that that Delifrance introduced Bistro Delifrance which serves heavier meals. Its basically like a restaurant concept instead of just a deli or cafe.

One day we were deciding what to eat and the Bistro Delifrance looked interesting so we popped in. They have this promotion where you get a free soup when you order a main course. NOt only that, certain main courses comes with free flow of soft drinks.

French Onion Soup (RM7.20) - Honestly nothing particularly fancy or nice about it. The garlic bread is good though. Not too hard or tasteless. Not something I would pay 7.20 for. Luckily it came FREE with the main course.

Provencal Lamb Stew (RM19.90) - This was quite nice, not too chewy. A nice change to the usual black pepper or mushroom sauce, this came with a tomato based sauce full of mixed herbs. They gave 2 pieces and underneath is really nice fluffy mashed potatoes.

Baby Back Beef Ribs served with Soft Drink (RM38.00) - The meat was so soft and it was falling off the bone. Really nice. I thought the sauce was a bit too salty but my fren said it was okay. Underneath is plain boiled spaghetti which went well with the BBQ sauce.

All in all, it was not bad for western cuisine. The food was all nicely presented and cooked well. With just one miss (the onion soup) I wouldn’t hesitate to go again. See the full menu here. Oh by the way, not every Delifrance outlet is a Bistro tho. Here’s a list of locations, addresses and numbers for Bistro Delifrance outlets.
